    Can you access windows? What options did you choose when installing linux? Also what version of windows do you have and also mandrake do you have.

    I might be mistaken but...

    1st even if you choose to boot from the Slave, if you choose to install the bootloader on the master, things will never get solved.

    2nd If during the installation you choose not to create a boot loader.. :S well you might have to make another install with that option... im pretty sure you wont have to re-install the whole package but you'll need to create one (bootloader) and unless you know how... well the CD is pretty much your best friend

    3nd If you choose to make the BootLoader on the Slave and you try to boot from the slave... It might be corrupted... solution from "2nd" will probly solve your problem...

    hope this helps a little
